After collecting suggestions from others, I came up with the following
changes. They already include the patch I sent before.
2005-08-17 Emilio C. Lopes <eclig@gmx.net>
* emacsclient.1 (DESCRIPTION): reflect inclusion in the Emacs
distribution. Made the role of EDITOR clearer.
(OPTIONS): documented `-s', `-V' and `-h' as well as their long
name counterparts.
(BUGS): removed since its contents doesn't
apply anymore.

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
This manual page documents briefly the
.BR emacsclient
! command.
! This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution
! because the original program does not have a manual page.
! Instead, it has documentation in the GNU Info format; see below.
.PP
.B emacsclient
! works in conjunction with the built-in server of Emacs.
.PP
! You typically do not call
.B emacsclient
! directly. Instead, you set the environment variable EDITOR
! to
! .B emacsclient
! and let programs like 'vipw' or 'bug' or anything run
! it for you, which will use an existing Emacs to visit the file.

.B emacsclient

.B emacsclient
! works in conjunction with the built-in Emacs server.
.PP
! You can either call
.B emacsclient
! directly or let other programs run it for you when necessary. On
! GNU/Linux and Unix systems many programs consult the environment
! variable EDITOR (sometimes also VISUAL) to obtain the command used for
! editing. Thus, setting this environment variable to 'emacsclient'
! will allow these programs to use an already running Emacs for editing.
! Other operating systems might have their own methods for defining the
! default editor.

do not visit files but instead evaluate the arguments as Emacs
Lisp expressions.
.TP
.B \-a, \-\-alternate-editor=EDITOR
if the Emacs server is not running, run the specified editor instead.
This can also be specified via the `ALTERNATE_EDITOR' environment variable.
.TP
.B \-d, \-\-display=DISPLAY
tell the server to display the files on the given display.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
The program is documented fully in
.IR "Using Emacs as a Server"
available via the Info system.
- .SH BUGS
- If there is no running Emacs server,
- .B emacsclient
- cannot launch one. I use a small Perl script instead of raw
- .B emacsclient
- to do it (it works only with systems which have BSD sockets, which is fine
- for Debian GNU/Linux).
